It was a good trip on the boat, a little too hot in the summer. The tour guide who took us around Memphis was outstanding!
We did the City Tour, with Sun Studios and Riverboat added on. We were collected and returned to our hotel, which was an added bonus, no hassle of finding the place. Our guide was Darrell, he was fantastic, very knowledgeable and funny, also professional and efficient. We had a good city tour with a great commentary. We stopped at the Peabody for the Duck March, I love ducks! The Sun Studios tour was amazing, you could feel the history and atmosphere. We stopped on Beale Street, probably the best cookies I ever had anywhere. It was very hot, 37 degrees, but sitting on Beale Street with a cold beer listening to Sam and Dave felt so cool. We were running late as a group for the riverboat but Darrell rang them and they waited for us all. The cruise was about 90 minutes, so when we had taken lots of photos there was plenty of time to just enjoy it with a cocktail. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially Darrell 👍
Absolutely outstanding experience from beginning to end. Sam our guide was very knowledgable and helpful throughout the tour. I would highly recommend. Thank you
Fantastic day tour guide Michelle was fantastic great crack and really informative also had a good sense of humour .
Highly recommend this tour for Memphis first timers. Sam was our guide for the day. He was funny, personable and very knowledgeable about the city. He made sure to hit alot of important spots and knew so much detail about each one. He pointed out the best restaurants and places to visit. We also included Sun Studios and the Riverboat trip. All of which I would recommend. We had a great day and learned so much on our first trip to town! Thanks Sam and crew for a great day!
Sam was very knowledgable and a lovely chap! Some difficulty with contacting the company due to phone signal and UK to USA phone connectivity. The sun studios and riverboat tour were great. The Peabody ducks were cute! Would book again
This was an excellent tour for the price. We did the downtown tour and riverboat cruise. Darrel, our guide, was friendly and very knowledgeable. Pickup was at 9 AM at the visitor’s center (free parking was nice and convenient) and drop off at 4:15.
We did the aviator bus tour, sun studios and Mississippi River cruise. Extremely informative. Tour guides were excellent
It was very informative. I had trouble understanding our guide as I couldn't hear clearly what was sat in back of the bus. River tour was very relaxing and we learned a few mor things
Great city tour. Very informative and covered a lot. Our tour guide Michelle was excellent. She give us a lot of great facts and made it fun as well. We also did the Riverboat addition which was very nice.
